Far Behind - Candlebox
Now I am no good at writing tabs or anything, but I sat down and
figured this one out one day and since I haven't seen it in this
newsgroup yet, I thought someone might want to know it... but don't jump
all over me because it's not exactly right, but I think i'm pretty damn
close.
Main part: w/Chorus Effect
e|-------5---5h7---5-------7-7---------5-5-------------2------------|
B|-------------------------8-8---------7-7--------------3-----------|
G|-----0---0-----0--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------0-----0---------|

D|------------2------------------------|
A|--0---2-3----------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
But I did it anyway... etc..
That's the main part, you just repeat that until you get to the
chorus which is just these chords:
G Em D C9
e|-2-0--2-0-
B|-0-0--3-3-
G|-0-0--2-0-
D|-0-2--0-2-
A|-2-2--x-3-
E|-3-0--x-x-
G Em D
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
C9 G Em
but I did it anyway now maybe some would say you're
D C9
left with what you had but you couldn't share the pain no no no
